The characteristic taste of Maasdam cheese

Maasdam is one of the most loved cheeses from the Netherlands, inspired by the traditional Swiss Emmental, but with a unique Dutch twist. What makes Maasdam cheese so recognizable are, of course, the strikingly large holes. These holes are created in a completely natural way during the ripening process by special propionic acid bacteria. These bacteria produce gas bubbles in the cheese, which cannot escape and thus form the iconic round holes.

This special ripening process is also responsible for the unique flavor of the Maasdam. Where a standard young Gouda cheese can be quite mild and salty, the Maasdam has a distinct sweet, mild, and slightly nutty taste. Because it is a cheese with a relatively high moisture content, the texture is also wonderfully smooth and soft. This makes the Maasdam perfect for sandwiches, in a fresh salad, but also to cut into cubes as a flavorful snack.

Freshly cut from the wheel for the ultimate cheese experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for absolute freshness and top quality. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your piece of Maasdam cheese accurately and fresh. Immediately after portioning, we pack your cheese completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the quality and soft texture, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. As long as you keep the cheese unopened in the vacuum packaging, it will easily stay fresh in your refrigerator for weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions about Maasdam cheese

How are the large holes created in Maasdam cheese?

The holes are created by adding propionic acid bacteria to the milk during cheese making. During ripening, these bacteria produce carbon dioxide gas. Because the rind of the cheese does not allow this gas to escape, the characteristic large, round holes form in the dairy.

How does Maasdam taste compared to Gouda cheese?

Maasdam is significantly sweeter and nuttier in flavor than a standard Gouda cheese. In addition, the texture of Maasdam is softer and smoother, which makes it very popular with people who like a mild, not too salty cheese.

Is this cheese safe to eat during pregnancy?

Yes, absolutely. Our Maasdam cheese is prepared with pasteurized cow's milk, which means the milk has been heated. It is therefore completely safe to eat if you are pregnant.

Do you also sell other types of cheese with holes?

Yes, certainly! In addition to the Maasdam, we have more delicious cheeses with holes in our assortment, such as Leerdammer and the Frisian Tynjetaler. View our complete Leerdammer, Maasdammer & Tynjetaler category.

perfect service - great product
Review by
It was the first time we ordered from this page and we will definately do it again. At the beginning we had some trouble with the Credit Card Payment as the dutch Mastercardsystem is different to ours. But literally within seconds someone from the webpage called and explained how to do it different. That´s the service one expects.
The cheese itselve is exactly the way we wanted it and therefore the bottomline is: We will order again.

Packing problem
Review by
Taste is very good. The only issue is a way of packing. Understand it's vacuum packing however cheese was compressed too much and after unpacking looked not great and it was difficult to slice.
